If there are no DNS records for the internal IPv4 addresses, then make
up some names for the clients and add them to the bacula-dir server's
/etc/hosts file. Then use {FD/SD/Dir}Addresses to have everything listen
only on the internal IPv4 network.
Because you currently have both A and AAAA records setup for the client
hostnames, then when given an Address=hostname line in a Client resource
in bacula-dir.conf, bacula-dir is likely defaulting to the A record. If
you really want to use IPv6, then add an alternate hostname for each
client to DNS that has ONLY an AAAA record and no A record. Then using
Address=alt-hostname in the Client resource in bacula-dir.conf so that a
DNS lookup sees only the IPv6 address.
AFAIK, Bacula does not yet have the equivalent of FDAddresses = {} for
the Client resource in bacula-dir.conf. I agree it is probably needed,
because most people using IPv6 do so in a mixed IPv4/IPv6 environment.
Also, I don't believe FDSourceAddress is suitable for a mixed IPv4/IPv6
environment, though it is rarely needed.
